David Perry: How do I open my heart to someone, as you were saying, that I really disagree with? He says we don't have to agree with those that we open our heart to. We can become more skillful in dealing with them because there's something about heartfeltness and warm-heartedness he says. "I think for me it's been an incredibly important fundamental piece of my own practice over the last 20 years"
In the second part of our 10 most essential lessons for a great life, we explore accepting difference, open heartedness, healthy skepticism, embracing life, and impermanence.
